Wayland Town Crier 5/29/15: Wayland athletic director warns of ‘illegal practices’ in youth sports. School administrators were tight-lipped this week about charges leveled by outgoing athletics director Stephen Cass, who claims he is being fired for speaking out about payoffs to coaches, misuse of donations and illegal practices in youth sports programs. Cass pleaded with School Committee members Tuesday to intervene on his behalf after learning his contract will not be renewed next year.
